Smarter Shot Selection for Pickleball Wins

Good shot selection can be the difference between winning and losing a point. Here’s how to instantly improve your game with smarter choices.

1. Analyze Your Opponent

Identify your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses. Aim your shots to their weaker side or exploit gaps in their positioning.

2. Play High-Percentage Shots

Select shots with a higher chance of success. Avoid low-percentage risk shots unless you're forced into it.

3. Use Variety

Incorporate different shot types to keep your opponent guessing. Mix dinks, drives, and lobs to keep them off balance.

4. Position for Advantage

Think about where your shot will leave you on the court. Position yourself for your next move, whether it’s offense or defense.

Practice these strategies during your next game, and watch your success rate soar!
